Trigger Logic to play from MAX/MSP

I'm working on a quadraphonic piece in Logic and want it to playback when I hit the spacebar in MAX/MSP.
Any thoughts on how to do this?
Cheers,
Max

Hi Maxdelucia,

you should look the [hostcontrol~]. It gives you the ability to control a ReWire host (that Logic is).
You should have the rewire audio driver selected.

Or, if you don't want to mess with Rewire, as you don't need to send the audio back to Max, you could simply send a MIDI message from Max to Logic (using IAC Driver) and assign that message to the play/stop/whatever command in the Key Commands window.
